USB 3.0: Brand Spanking New<\/strong><\/p>\n

It’s not like I have anywhere important to go to, but I still hate to wait. That’s why I’m enjoying USB 3.0. <\/p>\n

Let’s get the numbers out of the way; then I’ll talk practicalities. <\/p>\n

USB specs are inflated… they always are. USB 2.0 is rated at 480 Mbit\/s (about 57MB\/s) while USB 3.0 is 4.8 Gbit\/s (572 MB\/s). In the real world, the only users getting these speeds are the marketing people who dreamed up the specs. On my PC, USB 2.0 moved files at 25MB\/s and USB 3.0 can get up to 55MB\/s. <\/p>\n


\nHere’s a comparison between file transfers with USB 2.0 versus USB 3.0.<\/strong><\/div>\n

\"\"
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

I used TeraCopy<\/a>, a free copying utility, to measure the transfer speed. <\/p>\n

\"\"
\nTeraCopy shows you the speed of the transfer.<\/strong>\n<\/p>\n

<\/a>USB 3.0 Right Now<\/strong>
\n Unless you have a need to be on the edge, I’d say wait. But I know some of you want USB 3.0 now, so you have two choices: Buy a new PC with it built into the system board, or spend about $45 for a USB 3.0 adapter. <\/p>\n

I used StarTech’s 2 Port PCI Express SuperSpeed USB 3.0 Card Adapter<\/a> with two external ports. (For $60, you can choose a card<\/a> with one external and one internal port for connecting internal USB devices.) They’re both backward compatible to USB 2.0. You’ll also need a USB 3.0 cable<\/a>, about $15.<\/p>\n

Installation is no different from sticking in any other adapter–open the PC’s case and insert the card into an empty PCI Express slot. You’ll need to make a connection from your PC’s power supply to the card using an LP4 molex connector (most power supplies have extra connectors). <\/p>\n

Be aware that the maximum throughput of these cards is limited by your PC’s bus interface. PCI Express Gen 1.0 is stuck at 2.5 Gbps. (Use the freebie SIW<\/a>–System information for Windows–to find out your PC’s bus interface speed.)<\/p>\n

If you have a notebook, you can try StarTech’s Card Adapter<\/a>. Because the adapter isn’t powered, though, the external device you use may need its own power source. <\/p>\n

On a sad note, you’ll be disappointed to hear the USB connector that plugs into your PC is still dopey–you’ll have to continue guessing which side is up. <\/p>\n

\"\"
\nNew USB 3.0 cables (you’ll still have
\n to guess which way to plug it in…)<\/strong><\/p>\n
